I also find the WB attempt to shut down HP-related websites very 
disturbing.  If they persist and actually manage to shut down some 
websites (rather than just stopping merchandise sales thru those 
websites) I think we (collectively, The HP for Grownups group) should 
write to WB threatening to yell, scream, boycott, publicize and 
generally make a big stink about WBs harrassment of HP fans.  Of 
course it hasnt come to that yet, but it might.  This sort of 
irresponsible corporate behavior really pisses me off.  They get huge 
amounts of free publicity from us - I bet that practically every HP 
website and group has links to the WB store - and then they treat us 
like crap.  I often wonder about how these men (yeh, I know, women 
too, but in reality its mostly men) live with themselves; they run 
their corporations like feudal land barons - death to any peasant who 
gets in their way.
